Small Coastal Dining Room with an Oversized Rattan Pendant

Going bigger with the light fixture is a surprising trick for a small dining room. An oversized rattan pendant, nearly as wide as the table, gives the room a strong focal point and makes the space feel intentional instead of cramped. Because rattan is an open weave, it looks light even at that size and throws a patterned glow across the walls at night. Hang it a little lower than you would a solid fixture, so the woven texture sits in your line of sight. Beige slipcovers, sisal and whitewashed wood keep the coastal palette soft, and the slipcovers wash easily.
